The Briggs mill is again closed down.
A new rim is being put on the crusher at
The Thompson mill.
Miss Julia Barrett, who has been away
from Silver for some time, has returned for
a short time.
The Haywood has increased their working
force to fifteen men. This does not look as
though ore in the mine has given out. as
some people are glad to report.
Silver City is at present having quite a
pug ilistic boom. Last Wednesday Adam
Bay and VIM. Cameron had dispute over a
trifing matter, the outcome of which was a
most brutal fight, and after each bruiser was
knocked down numerous times the fight was
declared draw.

Social Dance.

A social dance was given at Odeon Hall
last Tuesday evening under the auspices Of
Knickerbocker engine and Hose Co. No. s.
A pleasant little crowd congregated and
danced the hours away until about ; O'Clock
the next morning Coffee, cake and ice
cream were served in the hall about mid
night by Mrs. Fox of the Occidental Hotel,
The music for the occasion was furnished by
the Gypsey's band, and was excellent, Civ
ing better satisfaction than the high priced
music furnished by the Virginia band. All
who attended agree that the affair was a
social success.

Needs a Fire Department.

There is no place on the face G. the earth
that needs FIRE department more than the
little town Of Greenfield, Mason Valley.
There is but one street In the town and the
dwelling houses, business houses, saloons,
etc., are all huddled together in blu nch, so
that sould fire start at either end of the
town it would be utterly impossible to pre-
vent it from destroying the entire place.
More especially would this be the case
should the wind be blowing in the right di
recton to aid the flames in their work Of de.
struction. 1t is understood that now there
is not even an organized bucket brigade in
the town. 1t has been the idea of some to
purchase small fire engine and hose cart
for the place, this, however, would be quite
expensive aud there is cheaper way W. he
lieve to provide means Of safety. With
the aid Of two or three windmills and as
many good sized tanks, placed at height
sufficient to obtain the force required and two
or three hundred feet of hose, it seems to us
the place would be compar atively safe from
danger from this source.

ut Was the Cat.r

| The latter part of last week two mighty
| Day ton nimrods took their departure for the
Como hills, in search of sage hens. Upon
returning they reported game very scarce in
that locality and returned with having seen
Blu, little, or rather having obtained but lit
tie. Two days they travelled over the hills
in the broiling sun and finally wound up at
Pony's cabin where they prepared TO remain
over night. One ofthese nimreds, remem-
bering having read in some geography when
he was boy about shooting moose and
spearing fish by torchlight came to the con-
clusion to try hunting sagehen by candle
light, he therefore borrowed lantern from
Pony and started his partner out little way
ahead with the light and dog to scare up
the birds from their sleeping places, the plan
did not work as well as was expected for
the reason that they could not find the birds
to scare up, and after travelling some distance
| they concluded to return to the cabin, when
short distance from the cabin an animal
which they thought resembled lynx crossed
the path before them and jumped into a
pine tree. The dog kept the animal in the
tree till the hunters came up. They were
little skit,ish about getting too close to the
tree for fear there might be nest of these
supposed lynx or wild cats near by, therefore
they circled around and finally discovered
two glazing eyes peering at them from one
Of the topmost branches of the tree. Then
the man with gun was in doubt, whether
or not, to shoot at the animal for fear, unless
he made an accurate shot, the cat or lynx
would turn the tables on them and make it
exceedingly unpleasant However courage
was screwed up and both barrels Of the gun
were turned loose at once. 1t promised to
be an excellent shot as the beast fell with a
dull thud to the ground. They secured the
animal and triumphantly continued their
way to the cabin. Here they exhibited the
success Of their skill to Pony who, when he
saw the dead lynx could hardly restrain the
tears from flowing from his eyes. For sew
eral moments he said nothing but looked at
the hunters with an expression Of mingled
sorrow and disgust, then he explained to
tn m in language more fcrcible than poetic
that it did not take much of hunter to xii

to return TO Dayton aud rid the community

Six bars Of Garfield bullion worth abou
$4,000 were shipped on Monday.
There are thirty men at work for the
Con. Esmeralda, and room for more.
John Hammond and Tom Daley are haul

The mine is looking very well and its yield
this season will be large.
George Olsen came in from the Lapanta

Globe District, Nye county. Work has al
ready commenced on group of mines in
which he is interested with K. Kelly and DIR.
Laws. The mines are situated about twenty
four miles from Luning and half mile east
of the Luning and Downeyvile stage road. .
The lodges are of good width varying from
two to three feet. A shaft has been sunk
on one of the claims 10 depth of forty feet
showing the ledge to stand straight and
widen in going down. The ores are free
milling gold ores, some rock showing con
considerable free gold all good average
grade, samples taken from five different
mines assaying from twelve to forty dollars
ton. The country is smooth and slopes
gradually and teams can be easily driven to
all the mines There is large belt of tim.
Der within three miles, and an almost mex
haustible supply of water can be obtained
within two miles, the convenience of these
necessities making economical mining and
reduction possible. No mining men have
yet inspected this district the only visitors
having been travellers passing near, all Of
whom freely declare that the South western
portion of Nye county will soon witness
mining excitement, such as has never ye,
been seen in this section.

An old-fashioned chap. who keeps a little
drug store in Cleveland, had about two
dozen bottles OF Hoods Sarsaparilla on
hand in April, and one morning drummer,
who had been posted by the boys, entered
the store and said:
"See here. am a man who goes straigh,
to business. I'll give you dollar and o
half bottle for that Sarsaparilla."
"Dellar and half'
"Well, say two dollars"
The old man turned white as death, lost
his voice for minute, and then hoarsely
whispered:
"You can't have it. Wars broke out
somewhere. and Hoods Sarsaparilla i.

saved His Life.

Mr.. D. l. Wilcoxson, of Horse Cave, KY,
says he was, for many years. badly afflicted
with Phthisic, also Diabetes; the pains were
almost uncomfortable and would sometimes
almost throw him into commissions. He
tried Electric bitters and got relief from the
first bottle and after taking six bottles, was
entirely cured. and had gained in flesh eigh
teen pounds. Says he positively believes he
would have died, had it not been for the re
lief afforded by Electric Bitters. Sold at

The state Fair.

BY all accounts the State Fair al Reno will
o. the best ever gotten up IN the Sta,e. Ev-
erybody seems to be taking more interest in
the fair this year than ever before, and no
doubt there will be great quantity of ex-
hibits of fine stock, agricultural and mineral
products, etc. Already applications have
been made for all the stalls now built on The
grounds. This, however, should not deter
those who have not made entries from doing
so, as the Association will see that more
stalls are erected and that there is plenty OF
81 able room. Each county in the State will
axe particular pans this year 10 have hne
exhibit, and there is no doubt that if Lyon
county strs around little to get up an ex-
hibit, she can capture some of the first prizes
for agricultural products. She has also fine
stock in various breeds of horses and cattle
and would also secure premiums on these.
This is the finest opportunity that our stock
and agricultural producers will have this
season TO advertise their goods, aud every
body should take interest in the matter as
the prosperity of the county lies in letting
the outside world know what she can pro-
duce, and it is as much benefit to the bust
ness men in the county as it is TO the exhibitors
themselves to have the county brought into
public notice. Therefore, let everybody in
Lyon county take some little interest in see
ing that she is well represented in exhibits
at the coming State Fair.
